Product Description:
This collection of films starring Joe E. Brown is one for all who enjoy easy-going lighthearted humor. On Disc One The Gladiator (1938) Hugo Kipp (Brown) is a nerdy type college student who is injected with a super-serum by a mad scientist (Lucien Littlefield). The result causes the normally unathletic Brown to be quite the campus stud who catches the attention of pretty coed Iris Bennett (June Travis). Plus Wide Open Faces (1938) A fortune has been stolen and every thug in town is looking for it. They all end up staying at a young woman's inn. The crooks all end up jailed thanks to the effort of a naive fountaineer (Brown). On Disc Two Flirting with Fate (1938) Dixon (Joe E. Brown) the manager of a third-rate vaudeville cast stranded in a South American country. Penniless Dixon comes up with a plan to finance the actors' trip home: he'll take out a huge life insurance policy and then arrange to get himself killed by bandit chieftain Sancho (Leo Carrillo). Plus Earthworm Tractors (1936) Alexander Botts (Brown) is a fast-talking salesman who really knows nothing about tractors trying to push the big sale on the grumpy unconvincing lumberman Johnson. The sell is not easy but Botts pushes on with the help of Johnson's daughter. Bonus Features: Trailers| Actors Bios| 'Fractured Flickers' Sampler.

I like Brown a lot, and his personality certainly carries these films, which for the most part are in the B-movie category in my opinion. Still, any lover of comedy and especially Brown should have this in their collection, or at least rent it to view them. The quality is fair - not bad really, but no real restoration seems to have been made here (in fact "The Gladiator" was taken from a 16mm print released ... Read More
Rating:  - Wating For Another Title.
Quite some time ago (40+ years), I was watching afternoon TV, and the film ALIBI IKE came on, and I remember enjoying it very much. Prehaps set three, could include this title.
